quote of the day

"Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual."
-Edward Weston

Well, Hello again!

In case you hadn't noticed, I recently lost my will to blog. I felt a little lost and out of balance so I stepped away for a bit to get my bearings. Today I got my photo mojo back for the first time in a while. I was strongly reminded why I love making photos. Experiencing the world through the camera's eye is one of my favorite things ever. I decided to share the love and that reminded me of something else. I don't want to miss out on the sharing that occurs among the artistic community here in blogland. That means I'm back on the blog-wagon. I'm still trying to decide exactly how I want it to play a role in my life so any advice/input you could provide would be appreciated. Why do you blog? How does it impact your life? What do you hope to get from it?

Gemma & Rockstar patiently waiting for me to find my photo mojo:

The Weekend of My Dreams...

Looks something like this:


and includes -
hiking, climbing and playing amongst the trees
slurping a slurpee
wishing on a shooting star
singing a song by a campfire
swinging on a rope swing and making a splash

I. am. READY. for. summer.

ps- Happy Birthday Etsy! I went to your birthday party tonight and I came home with a few gifts... I'll have to take their portraits tomorrow and show you!

Underwater Adventure




I had a little fun with my disposable underwater camera on our vacation. I should have waited for better quality scans but I was too excited to show you the images I got. I'm underwater again today but sadly it's in the form of rain showers. I'm sure the rest of the world is sick of us NW'ers whining but you really can't imagine the pain. I'm daydreaming of all the summer activities that are calling my name. Maybe I'll compile a list for tomorrow's post.

What Home Means to Me

Today it's my turn to participate in 'Pin it Forward' and post what home means to me. But first, a big thanks to Victoria over at sfgirlbybay for organizing all this. Also for letting us in on the wonder that is Pinterest. I have had my eyes opened to a whole new world of inspiration and eye candy these past weeks. It is such a great tool for cataloging ideas and photos found on the www and so much prettier than file folders on your desktop. Thanks to poppytalk for pinning it forward to me on Friday and I'll pass the torch to slipcover your life who will be posting tomorrow. Check the schedule to see who else is involved. For the rest of my 'What Home Means to Me' Pinboard, and others go HERE. Enjoy!

To me, Home is...

A Place To Come Back To
A Place To Kick Off Your Shoes

A Place To Be In Love

A Place To Learn

A Place For Commitment

A Place To Fill With Music

A Place To See Yourself Clearly

A Place To Let Loose
